Yeah, no, seriously.
Totally engrossing, only for one moment was I slightly out of suspense.
Winstead and Goodman hit it out of the park, their characterizations are excellent and watchable and it’s scripted and cut perfectly around them. I really liked the visual styling it’s got some nice tight focus shots and a well handled camera overall. Put it this way: I stopped noticing the inevitable dribble on the cinema’s screen after just a second.
Watching the events unfold is more than enough as you are drawn into them so naturally, and shocked enough early-on to have your real-world rationality somewhat perturbed. It also does it without resorting to repetitive gore which was impressive [though there is gore indeed, where justified].
There’s other things in the plot and VFX which are really nice and I thought the “Cloverfield” connections were fine too.
-ve: Eeer I guess it’s a fairly preposterous story. But I think it at least really uses that story well.
8/10 – Stonking. See on a big screen if possible
